::sigh:: I have been trying so hard to do the best I can for my boy. The past couple of days I noticed a little bit of damage had been done to some of his fins. I can't get good pics up, but what it looks like is there is a curly q in parts of his dorsal and caudal fins (hope I am spelling this right).

Sometime after his feeding this morning, I noticed what looked like a split in his caudal fin. I am planning on buying new plants (artificial) but I need to know if there is anything else I should do to help him heal. I know he's having a rough few days, since I am trying to acclimate him to the hard water in my house.

Further advice would be appreciated. I definitely want to keep him from getting sick, if he already isn't.
